Who thought a bright white screen was a good idea? Fire whenever decided to get rid of the blue

Is it as bad as you'd thought it be? I went from thinking it was going to be bad, to it realizing it's horrible. It's almost July and I went from using Posada, Rollins, and Escobar to using 87 William Contreras and 86 Live Series DeGrom. What an absolute disaster.

Does anyone else hate the sound of hitting this year? It sounds like you're hitting with a wiffleball bat, and when you get a perfect perfect it sounds like a broken bat in real life. Who approved this change?

But they're right about Season 2. I gave it the weekend to see how it is, and everyone was right: it's awful. No one wants to grind team affinity for guys with 74 contact and 81 power. We just did this 6 weeks ago. What a disaster

It's been 2 weeks, and a lot of people still can't use their custom uniforms. How hasn't SDS fixed this yet? It's unreal.

Credit to SDS, they made Team Affinity 100x better than last year. It's way quicker and doesn't seem like a punishment. I also like the fact that you can pitch with boss for 3 inimhz and get 15,000 xp out of it, and it's also repeatable.

I’ve been using meter pitching forever, and up until this year have been doing well with it. This year though, I can’t get anyone out. Guys are hitting HRs on balls that aren’t even in the strike zone. Does it deem like the game is trying to get people off of meter and to use pinpoint?

I’m new to DD, so I didn’t know what to expect. Thought hitting was way too easy when I was in the 500-600 level and was a HR fest. Then I got to the 800ish level and I have zero chance of getting more than 5 hits. Dudes are throwing 100mph sinkers followed by sliders than move 9 feet. Can anyone hit at this level or did I just get really bad fast?

I never really noticed that you can pick your difficulty for online rated games, so what’s stopping really good players from playing on Rookie online and just winning game after game after game? Do you still get the same amount of credit for winning on rookie as you would winning on HOF? It seems like a garbage system and that people can easily just do this to get ranked in the top 50 for online rated?

You definitely cannot do that.

You 100% can.

@pdoss3_psn said in How to get Mike Trout and Chipper Jones:

For Chipper you have to complete the live series collection. Every team. For Trout you have to get lucky and pull him from a pack or buy him.

Does Trout come in a random pack and you just get lucky. I have like 300 unopened packs just from playing and not focusing on DD, but it seems like all the players are like 80s and below so I don’t even bother opening them

You’re better off just going through the top 25 and blocking the guys hitting .130 and below. The top 25 is filled with dudes who freeze it.

I thought I was pretty decent at this game until I got to the 850 level in DD, and now it’s impossible to get more than 5 hits. Edward Cabrera is throwing 134 mph sinkers that move 8 feet and Rivera is throwing cutters that move 17 feet. Fortunately, it seems like my opponents are equally as bad at hitting, so it makes the game close until someone hits a HR and wins 1-0 or 2-1. Has anyone else notices how hard the hitting is or I am just bad at it?

Anybody else feel they're hitting with a wet newspaper. It seems like every good timing/PCI is a routine fly out, and every perfect perfect is just a single.

The 200 XP is for the actual gameplay, the amount you mentioned first is for completing it.

I get the 200 after I complete it though. For example, Trevor Story moment is to hit a HR. It says 500 on the side. I hit a HR, and it gave me like 150 XP

Yes I understand what you're saying, but you don't understand what I'm saying. The 150 is for actually hitting the homerun during gameplay, and that's what shows after the mission is done. You still get the 500, it just doesn't show in that screen. Write down the exact amount of XP you have before the next mission and you will see.

Oh my bad, so it’s 500 + whatever pops up on the screen. Thank you. Never would have figured that out haha

Yes, it would've been better if they just show the total amount in that screen but it's coded to show just the amount of XP you earned with gameplay and the 500 is a bonus. It is still applied, but doesn't show. But like I said, write down your exact amount of XP before the next mission and then look at it after the mission is complete. You'll see they gave both the XP it shows in the screen and also the XP for the mission.

Ok thank you. I thought I was just getting 200 XP for each moment so I just stopped doing them

@bthoms91_psn said in Online ranking not showing up:

any way fix this ?

I’m having the same problem. Went from top 20 to not even having my name show up

Whenever you click on a moment to do, it’s says y’all’s 500 or 1000 XP on the side. Then when you complete the moment you only get like 200 XP. Why is this?

@GreeeenfIower said in @devs when will the custom uniform bug be fixed?:

I cant even equip mlb jerseys i always default to the orioles. Can we please get some sort of timeline regarding when they will be used. Having no team swag is starting to get annoying.

Agree. Tired of looking at the Orioles uniforms

@GreeeenfIower said in SDS we beg you for an update on the jersey bug:

I'm just trying to not be the Orioles

They're fixing it tonight finally

Having guys with 900 ratings play on legend is awful. Both teams get 5 hits and the score is 2-1 or 3-2. Maybe it's just me, but I try to avoid making World Series as long as possible because I have zero interest of playing on legend.

I think I'm the only one on the planet who can't hit with Chipper. I'm actually decent at the game and make World Series every season, but I'm hitting .240 with Chipper and .350 with everyone else. I can't figure his swing out.
